Meet Zai Bendre the human version of a passport stamp and an energizer bunny.
Whether it’s chasing sunsets in Santorini or living the rugged wilderness and natural wonder of Patagonia , experiencing the living museum of evolution in the Galápagos Islands or marveling at traditions blending seamlessly with modernity in Japan……..I live for adventure, experiences, and those tiny moisturizer bottles in hotel bathrooms. Fueled by wanderlust and a strong belief that age is a number ( heading for the big seven zero) I can honestly describe myself as full time travel junkie, part culinary experimenter and part recreational cyclist and of course a perfectly imperfect MOM.
When I am not collecting passport stamps ( been fortunate to explore 60+ countries) or attempting to recreate that one dish we enjoyed at the fancy restaurant ( in spite of my kids telling me “ Mom you can’t replicate it every time) , you’ll find me casually cycling through life like it’s a breezy Sunday morning (helmet must , good vibes optional ). I believe calories don’t count on vacation, bike rides are therapy with wheels, and that every diverse flavor is story of cultures and traditions.
So pack your overnighter , a dash of curiosity and maybe a helmet- this ride is getting started and I’d love for you to travel along with me, one story, one country, one nibble at a time
